charset=utf8 results in empty input

I'm using trpc-openapi and some of our customers are using Zapier to communicate with it. Zapier uses the header Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 - note the additional charset=utf-8 When charset=utf-8 exists, the input to the relevant procedure is {} Has anybody encountered this? Is there a way to support it?

Note I'm using adapters/aws-lambda

i think i know why this is happening

@sachinraja - a penny for your thoughts? I found a few string comparisons to "application/json" in the codebase - I thought that might be it

yeah ill do a PR - should probably be doing .includes instead sorry i meant to follow up on this lol

Thanks @sachinraja ❤️

can i ask you to try something with a patch (patch-package)?

mrjackOP•15mo ago

I'm just in a meeting right now - I'd be happy to give it a crack in about 1h

awesome 👍

n.b. I'm on Yarn 3 which has it's own patch package system. I can just do a patch manually though if need be

ok cool ill see if i can do a canary publish actually I thought I knew why this was happening but now I do not. I just read that you're using the aws lambda adapter so that avoids a lot of potential issues I thought this could be related to. Also not sure why the input comes through as an empty object. Might be some aws specific stuff happening

I'm back now So here's a wrapper function I'm using to hack the adapter

import { APIGatewayProxyHandlerV2 } from "aws-lambda";

const charsetString = `; charset=utf-8`;


/** a filthy hack to workaround requests from Zapier where header is
 * `Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8` */
export const hackContentType =
  (fn: APIGatewayProxyHandlerV2): APIGatewayProxyHandlerV2 =>
  (event, context, callback) => {
    const contentType = event.headers["content-type"];
    if (contentType?.includes(charsetString)) {
      event.headers["content-type"] = contentType
        .replace(charsetString, "")
        .trim();
    }

    return fn(event, context, callback);
  };

import { APIGatewayProxyHandlerV2 } from "aws-lambda";

const charsetString = `; charset=utf-8`;


/** a filthy hack to workaround requests from Zapier where header is
 * `Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8` */
export const hackContentType =
  (fn: APIGatewayProxyHandlerV2): APIGatewayProxyHandlerV2 =>
  (event, context, callback) => {
    const contentType = event.headers["content-type"];
    if (contentType?.includes(charsetString)) {
      event.headers["content-type"] = contentType
        .replace(charsetString, "")
        .trim();
    }

    return fn(event, context, callback);
  };

I also noted that the comparisons to "application/json" didn't exist in the aws-lambda adapter But as you can see in this wrapper, adjusting event.headers["content-type"] causes createOpenApiAwsLambdaHandler to behave correctly Usage in case it's not clear

export const handler: APIGatewayProxyHandlerV2 = hackContentType(
  createOpenApiAwsLambdaHandler({
    router: appRouter,
    createContext,
  })
);

export const handler: APIGatewayProxyHandlerV2 = hackContentType(
  createOpenApiAwsLambdaHandler({
    router: appRouter,
    createContext,
  })
);

interesting quite an annoying bug i don’t think i can get around to fixing this soon anymore (will be gone for about 2 weeks) but i’ll still keep it in mind but feel free to create an issue on github, hopefully someone else will pick it up
